Is Elon a govt employee? If he is, he needs to be held responsible for the intense and number lies he is putting out with constant “if true then…” If he isn’t then he needs to get the hell away from my govt.

the news is reporting that the govt is offering federal employees a "buyout" with 8 months pay, and i wanna say that what is actually being offered is even dumber: asking people to agree to resign in 8 months while still doing their jobs and getting paid like normal until then

John Roberts is very upset that the public has lost confidence in John Roberts and the institution John Roberts leads following a series of confidence-cratering actions by John Roberts and his colleagues, and therefore would like everyone to know that this is not John Roberts' fault, it's yours.
